Great property and close to everything you need. Used the bikes to go around Estes Lake by crossing the road. Wildlife was walking on the grounds too, deer come within ten feet while on the hammocks if you’re lucky! No complaints.

We booked a last minute weekend for the Fourth of July. Prices were a little steep but expected last minute. Great location but even better staff here! Everyone was so friendly, thoughtful and accommodating. Truly top notch team. Location is in walking distance of the lake, shops and restaurants on the creek and The Stanley. A/c in the room was good, beds comfy, we hung out in the lounge/lobby and at the fire pit. Our teens loved the hammocks and s’mores. We would definitely stay again.

Room amenities were lacking. For the age of the building and the price, it was decent. We did have one amenity, and that was s’mores in the evening, and there were elk around with their babies. That was the best part of it. Parking was good. I would give it a 3.5 stars.

We stayed 4 nights for a family vacation and it was lovely! It is the perfect location if you're visiting Estes Park or Rocky Mountain National Park! We were able to walk downtown Estes Park and not have to worry about parking - which was great! The hotel is older, but they've done a great job of updating! The staff was very helpful -- I had originally booked online and our travel plans changed and the staff was wonderful about helping me change our booking (even though I had booked it through Expedia). Once we got there, the staff was so friendly and helpful with every question we had! Smores at night over the fire were wonderful and the outdoor seating was perfect! I said multiple times throughout our stay "I've never been to a hotel with such friendly and helpful staff!"

I just wish they would have had a microwave in the room so we could heat up our food. It was crazy hot in the daytime so I would have liked for them to have an ice machine and for the pool to be opened. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and beds were comfortable.

Rooms look a little dated and we had an issue with the hairdryer which didn’t seem to get resolved. Great location for walking into Estes Park and getting to RMNP. Restaurant on site but we didn’t use it. I would not rate this accommodation as 4* although we did enjoy our stay. We did have an issue with room charges (credit card charged despite us prepaying ) and this is ongoing so hope it is resolved quickly.

We were disappointed that there was no breakfast available, no food service available, and no bar service available the whole time we were there. The fire ring was broken in back so only one worked in front. The complimentary smores were very nice. Really cute lobby and nice place to relax. Nice location.
